a
brief introduction to Origami
Arktika

"I
found out about Origami Republika
through Jarboe. They're difficult to explain, more of a worldwide
movement
than an organization of artists. They're not just musicians; they're
filmmakers,
painters, collagists, writers, performers, & ordinary people.
Origami
Arktika is simply one branch of the whole contingent, which consists of
hundreds of branches. Origami Arktika is all about making massive
sounds
from minimal equipment." ~ Brian John Mitchell

For
over twenty years Origami Arktika has combined the traditional sounds
of norwegian folk music with experimental & drone music to make
beautiful hybrid sounds that are uniquely their own.Oriagmia Arktika Silber discography

Absolut Geh÷r
manages to fuse elements of drone, industrial noise, folk and jazz in a
heady, surreal mix that evokes the sound of the post-apocaylpyse; in
other words, melancholy, anxious, unsettled & yet possessing a hushed
beauty.~ William Ruben Helms, The Joy of Violent Movement

Our
favorite experimental Norwegian folk droners return. Fans of
post rock, psych, drone, & lofi should take note of this if
they know the language or not.

Music
as diverse as their
homeland’s geography, bridging old world sounds with modern technology.
Silicates and stones run through samplers. Artifact flutes poured
through
electronic processors. Our grandfather’s tales sung through their
grandson’s
voices. A hybrid of traditional Scandinavian folk and textural ambient
noise, celebrating life, friendship, and heritage.
